League One gets its day in the sun on Monday - or more accurately, it's night in front of the TV cameras.

Sky Sports heads to the Pirelli Stadium for what is a game between two sides in contrasting form.

Burton failed to win any of their opening eight games of the season but have since gone unbeaten in five in all competitions, picking up eight points from the last 12 available.

Cambridge, on the other hand, have stumbled after a strong start - after winning four of their first six in the league, they've taken just two points from their last four games.

Leg 1: Under 2.5 goals

It's no surprise to see the hosts as favourites but preference is to go low on goals which is a season-long trend for both teams.

Eight of Cambridge's 10 league games have seen under 2.5 goals, while nine of Burton's 13 in all competitions have delivered on this bet. At 4/51.80, it makes the cut.

Leg 2: Deji Oshilaja 1+ foul

With Burton among the top six in terms of fouls committed, the player fouls market is worth a look and in it, Deji Oshilaja is worth an interest.

A regular in the starting XI, the central midfielder has committed a foul in eight of his 12 games and, up against a team who are the seventh most-fouled in the division, he can add to that tally here.

Leg 3: Paul Digby 1+ shot

Finally, it's notable that Burton have conceded the fifth most shots in League One so far - Cambridge have the best such record - and so again it's worth delving into the relevant markets in bid to find some visitors-related value.

That appears to lie in midfielder Paul Digby, who is 8/131.61 to hit at least one shot.

He's managed that in four of his last five, striking multiple shots in two of those matches.

The three-legged Bet Builder pays just under 4/15.00 which, on a fairly quiet opening day of the week, fits the bill nicely.

Back under 2.5 goals, Oshilaja 1+ foul & Digby 1+ shot @ around 4/15.00
